Prince Sari is the current Prince of Kabinihan. Just like the previous rulers of their land, he possesses alluring beauty, elegance and admirable intelligence that is very suited for a royalty like him. Not known to many, he is a "Chosen Vessel" and has the Mark of Kasarinlan on his lower abdomen – a flower-shaped tattoo that signifies that the offspring is the next vessel to carry Kasarinlan's child. He is a heretic, and some think making him the next King would soil the kingdom's sole purpose: that is to serve their mighty Deity Kasarinlan and make him satisfied always. If they are to nurture Prince Sari and present him to the deity, their peaceful reign might disappear in a blink of an eye. On his 18th birthday, a personal adviser is assigned to Prince Sari – his name is Ulan. Ulan is tasked to give guidance to the Prince before he faces Kasarinlan in person. Until then, the Prince must learn various things as part of his destiny. Will he be able to bring prosper to his beloved land and people... or will he be the key to their downfall?

KASARINLAN’S VERDICT: Stigma of the Chosen ACT 07: REVISITING TUTUBI TOWN (Part 3)
“JUST what are you doing in here, Liwanag?!” Liwanag got up and dusted his clothes. “I overheard your conversation with Sinag, my Prince,” he confessed. “So that’s why you followed us here?” Prince Sari intervened with crossed arms. “How did you end up beneath the carriage, anyway? What if you fell? That was reckless of you, Liwanag,” he scolded, but with worry.Liwanag’s face turned apologetic after hearing all of those from the Prince. “I’m sorry. I just couldn’t stay still after knowing that you were plotting to throw yourself right into danger,” he reasoned out.Prince Sari sighed. “Liwanag, I’m not mad. Okay? I just don’t want you to get yourself hurt,” he defended.“I know!” Liwanag agreed. “And that’s why I’m here! I will protect you, Prince Sari!” Both Sinag and Prince Sari’s eyes widened.Then Sinag joined in their conversation, “Sorry for being rude but, the Prince deeply thought of the consequences of his actio

“LEAVING ALREADY?” approached an old man when Sinag and Prince Sari went downstairs to see the owner of the mentioned inn.“Hello, Mister. Are you perhaps the owner of this inn?” Prince Sari immediately asked.The old man was surprised at the sudden question, but he managed to smile and confirmed it, “Yes, I am. Did you enjoy your stay, my Prince?”“Of course!” Prince Sari exclaimed, then held both of the old man’s hands and gently squeezed them. “Mister, I will be honest. I had a tough time sleeping last night and everything here is very unusual for me. I mean, I have no idea how normal people lived their lives. I never knew something like this existed.”“Thank you, my Prince,” the old man responded. “But this place is falling apart. I don’t even have the money to repair some of the damaged parts. Lately, I am not receiving any customers due to the ongoing rumors,” he told the Young Prince with a sad expression.Prince Sari’s heart melte

FROM a distance, small birds of different kinds harmoniously chirped, waking Prince Sari up. He lazily rubbed his eyes as he pulled his back away from the hard wooden bed that made him uncomfortable throughout the night. He softly groaned, feeling an unfamiliar ache running down to his spine. He never felt this tired his entire life. The feeling was overwhelming. “How can someone endure sleeping on a bed like this, Sinag?” the Prince complained with a sour expression. Sinag chuckled at the Prince’s reaction before responding, “For someone who grew up in a palace and had always slept in a nice bed, this is the closest descent bed for mediocres, my Prince,” he explained. “Ugh…” Prince Sari couldn’t argue. It was finally proven that he was showered with nothing but luxury. “I’m sorry for what I said,” he apologized, and Sinag chuckled. “It’s fine. I am just glad that we managed to exit the Royal Palace without getting caught, my Princ

“I DIDN’T expect to see you today… Sinag,” Prince Sari said the very moment he headed outside the royal garden to practice his sword fighting techniques. The man before him appeared more mature than he was last seen. And today, he was wearing his Mandirigma armor.“Pleasure to see you, Prince Sari,” Sinag greeted in high regard, and slightly bowed his head before the addressed Prince. “You used to be amazed whenever we had practice duels. Ha ha,” he joked with a little bit of sarcasm.Prince Sari chuckled at Sinag’s statement. He was right. But aside from his duty as the next King, the Prince couldn’t seem to improve his swordsmanship skills no matter how hard he trained with Sinag from time to time.“What brings you here?” Prince Sari changed the topic.Sinag suddenly changed his presence from being relaxed to being serious, “I wanted to inform you that I got promoted as a Mandirigma, my Prince,” he announced.“That’s great!” In an instant, the Prince’s fac

“MY Prince, please wake up,” Amarang, who was now a lot older than he was back then, gently spoke. He was standing just beside the Prince’s bed. His worried expression clearly meant that today was another day that the Prince was expected to look forward to, but he obviously forgot and overslept.Still half asleep and groggy, Prince Sari forced himself to get out of bed. The young man didn’t mind being disheveled in front of his butler. For sure, Amarang respected him a lot but that didn’t mean that he would allow Prince Sari to keep acting like a child, not even wary of his surroundings when he was this vulnerable and exposed.“Price, please put on your clothes properly,” the old man pleaded as he assisted the timid Prince in fixing his clothes.“Thank you, Amarang,” Prince Sari said, followed with a playful chuckle. “You’re as caring, as always. you’re going to spoil me,” he commented.“I already am,” Amarang responded with a sigh.Amarang was quite young when he started working in t

THE young boy’s eyes widened in awe when a younger boy was presented before him, a few days after he had a one on one conversation with Simuno Apollo.“Young Prince, this is Liwanag. He is new here and from today onwards, he will be your personal servant,” Miss Ilang introduced, and she slightly pushed a ragged looking boy forward, for Prince Sari to have a better look at him.The boy was obviously younger than the Prince himself. Like everyone else that didn’t belong to the Royal Family, the boy had a tanned skin and thick, messy black hair that he didn’t bother to comb. He wore a dirty white and tattered clothes, and it had several holes in it. Prince Sari couldn’t say anything at the moment, so he plainly stared at the boy cowering before him, looking like he was about to cry soon.“My Prince, are you not satisfied with this new boy?” Amarang asked in a worried tone upon noticing that the Young Prince didn’t say a word.Prince Sari flinched and quickly shook his head several times

For now, Simuno Apollo was their acting “King” as Prince Sari would still undergo various trainings in becoming the next ruler. Simuno officials in Kabinihan were known to have leadership rights close enough to that of a King or Queen. Until the next Royalty, who was destined to become King or Queen matured, any Simuno official that belonged to the highest rank had every right to act as a “replacement” in order to maintain the kingdom’s operations without having to worry on who would guide the people on what to do. Simuno officials were categorized into three ranks: *Ginto, *Pilak and *Tanso. Simunong Ginto; they consisted of Elders and Founders of Kabinihan — humans who were previously powerless people, but were chosen by Kasarinlan himself, and were given divine powers and ‘temporary immortality’. They were believed to know all the secrets of Kabinihan, including the information about Kasarinlan’s real identity. Simunong Pilak; these were officials carefully selected by Simunong Gi

THE gentle morning breeze woke Prince Sari up. He welcomed another day with a delightful smile despite still feeling a little daze. The moment he got one foot out of his huge bed that could fit five people, maiden servants started to fix his bed. The younger ones assisted the Prince on putting on a casual robe for him to wear before he would take a bath and have his breakfast for later. “Good morning, my Prince. How was your sleep?” Prince Sari’s personal butler, Amarang, greeted him as he walked towards the young boy. The young maiden servants, who were just there a while ago, immediately left the two, and gave them some privacy to talk. The adult servants did the same. The Prince grinned so happily before responding, “I had a very pleasant dream, Amarang, but I forgot it!” he exclaimed, and laughed at the end. He acted a little silly, after all. But, his butler was always fond of Prince Sari’s playful and positive attitude. “That’s unfortunate. Shall we go

「Part 1 continuation」「I did agree to read with Ulan about stars but honestly, my knowledge about them is not yet that wide. But the look on Ulan’s face from earlier when he invited me looked so delighted that I didn’t have the courage to decline,」 Prince Sari helplessly thought.“Prince Sari, have you read about the Entities From Beyond?” Ulan asked with enthusiasm. Ulan was talking about a popular book that stated different theories about the stars.Since the beginning of time, the people of Kabinihan had used the stars as guides to track time and related some incidents that had happened throughout their history with the stars that they believed were present when it happened. Because of this, some stars were given names by those who discovered them and the informations were written down until it was published into a book. Many still doubted the truthfulness of the given facts but to those who wanted to venture the wonders of the world, it served as a

ACT 01: CHOSEN VESSEL (Part 1)
AS LIGHTNING struck followed by the loud roaring of thunder, a man was brought to his knees as blood gushed out from his back after being stabbed with an *itak which caused him instant death. The culprit was also a man who secretly snuck behind him when he was not looking. To their left, several men were also fighting to their death. The color of crimson was everywhere. Pained screaming of innocent civilians caught in between the war echoed. The rain finally poured, washing away the blood of all the wasted lives but not the sorrow of those who lost their loved ones. “We’re all gonna die.” One wounded man who lost both of his lower limbs said to himself while crying in despair. Hope was no longer present in his eyes. He was done for. Keeping himself alive would only burden the people who would tend to him. So, with a pained expression, he slowly picked up his itak drenched in blood and pointed it towards himself. He was trembling while doing so. “Please, forgive me. This
